The brigs have shot and powder enough to keep them spinning.

[His mind was racing with the calculations.]

Twelve balls and a sack of powder for each is what I'd ask, sir. We'll haul it ourselves, along with the cannons, if we may have them, sir.

If we are so careless as to waste those resources, it is my folly, sir, and I accept full blame and whatever punishment you see fit, sir.

[Silence. For a full minute the admiral looked out to the sea in silence. He raises one hand and uses his thumb and third finger to rub at his temples. Around the forty-five second mark he peers down the coastline. When he does speak, he says;]

I admire your independence. However, those men who proved themselves incompetent today will aid you by night, and if the work does not galvanize them into improving by tomorrow morning's light -- and provided that supplies permit -- I may send more shot in the hands of those incapable of anything besides heavy lifting. If it is to come, you can expect to be resupplied by mid-day.

[Hornblower could not fully hide the smile that flashed across his face before it was replaced with the soldier's stoicism.

He nodded.]

Thank you, sir.

First you must bring that plate to the Elizabeth's former captain. Do not forget.

[captainhornblower]

On my honour, sir.
